Pre-Shipment Inspection for Chinese Herbs
Aile Herb supports pre-shipment inspection for Chinese herbs before dispatch. The review can cover the finished batch, product specification, packing, labels, quantity, batch COA and agreed shipment documents so buyers can identify discrepancies before the goods leave the facility.
Finished-Batch Review — Review the actual finished goods before dispatch.
Packing & Labels — Check agreed packing, labels and carton information.
Batch Documents — Review COA and applicable shipment documents.
Buyer Review — Inspection requirements can be confirmed before shipment.
Pre-Shipment Inspection Options
Pre-shipment inspection can be arranged by live video, buyer-nominated inspection personnel or an independent third party. The inspection scope, timing, access and reporting requirements should be confirmed before the review is arranged.
Live Video Inspection
Review the finished goods, packing and applicable shipment information remotely before dispatch.
Independent Third-Party Inspection
A buyer-appointed inspection company can review the order according to the confirmed inspection scope.
Buyer-Nominated Inspector
Your nominated inspector can review the order on site, subject to advance scheduling and facility-access arrangements.
The applicable finished batch, packing and agreed shipment information can be reviewed before dispatch according to the confirmed inspection scope.
What We Review Before Shipment
Pre-shipment inspection for Chinese herbs can cover the finished batch, product specification, quantity, packing, labels, batch documents and agreed shipment documents.
If a discrepancy is identified, it is reviewed against the confirmed order specification before the shipment proceeds. The required action depends on the type and scope of the issue.
Finished-Batch Review Before Dispatch
Pre-shipment review takes place after the applicable production, packing and quality-control steps have been completed. It provides a final opportunity to compare the finished order with the confirmed product, packing and documentation requirements before dispatch. After the shipment arrives, buyers can use our Herbal Ingredient Receiving Inspection Checklist to verify the delivered condition, quantity, labels and batch linkage.
Inspection Does Not Replace Batch Testing
Pre-shipment inspection is a shipment-verification step, not a replacement for laboratory testing. Every production batch undergoes pesticide-residue and heavy-metal testing and is issued with a batch-specific COA. Pre-shipment review checks that the applicable batch documents and finished goods are aligned before dispatch.
Batch & Shipment Document Review
Before dispatch, the applicable batch and shipment documents can be reviewed against the order information. This helps confirm that the documentation corresponds to the goods being prepared for shipment.
The document scope may include the batch-specific COA, packing list, commercial invoice, certificate of origin, phytosanitary documentation or other agreed shipment documents where applicable. The required document set is confirmed according to the product, destination market and order scope.
